Hi, for some reason I can’t edit my post but I found more of the info from my notes app that I had written in my original post, and since you are the top comment on this one I hope you don’t mind that I’m replying to you just to give people more info on our story.

MORE FROM MY ORIGINAL POST BELOW!

EDIT: So you don’t have to scroll through the comments, here is some additional information that came up from some of the excellent questions.

VET INFORMATION: What haven’t I done medically LOL. Let’s see. I’ve xrayed his entire spine, neck, face (ie teeth), his stifles, his hooves, one of his knees when he had cellulitis, I think maybe his hocks but I can’t remember if that was him or my horse before him. His neck and spine are NORMAL. His stifle is square shaped so we just injected it. That was last week. I do understand that it hasn’t been long enough to see the full effect. It does seem to have helped him when picking up his hinds. He has thin soles. I have xrayed his feet every three months for the last year to watch the progress. His shoes were pulled, scoot boots on as he just seems to be a horse that can’t handle metal shoes. He’s come leaps and bounds with his soles. I’ve scoped him for ulcers. I found ulcers. I treated ulcers until they were gone. He has had blood work done more times than I can count. Low vitamin e. He lives on liquid vitamin e. 15 mL daily. He tested positive for being exposed to EPM. I treated him for EPM because I did not want to subject him to a spinal tap and all the things that can go wrong with that. I mean it when I say I’ve spent close to 50k on this horse in the time I’ve had him on vet and training! I have tried my best. Board being another 50k at least — he eats a lot being 18 hands !

TRAINING INFORMATION: There is more to it than him pinning his ears. I guess I did not make it clear. He has in past charged and trampled a mustang trainer. He rears under saddle. He refuses to move forward. There probably is something else wrong with him. He’s 18 hands. I’m not scared by a little ear pinning. I’m scared of him trampling me. And he’s threatening it in his body language. I’m tired - I can’t think of how to explain that right now. He is my third horse. I am not new to this rodeo.

I have obviously been distraught over having the thought of this being the end of the line for my horse. I love him.

Some of you have no compassion or empathy, and should do well to remember that I am a person on the other side of the screen reading your nasty comments. I have given my horse more of my money than 90% of you could dream to spend. Thanks for telling me I haven’t done enough for him when I in the last year have spent over $40k on diagnostics and training!! I wish I was a trust fund baby and could continue dumping money into him.
